﻿﻿ ﻿Now, if you've never listened to this song, then you must!!!!
Aside from drool worthy husky voices and naughty references to h-h-honkytonks.
....Wait.... I gotta catch my breath.....

mkai, I'm better.

There's a line from the song that just sums up what every hero should have a sprinkle of:

I may be a real bad boy, but baby I'm a real good man!

Now I'm not saying your hero has to be a down and dirty typical bad boy, but there needs to be an element of recklessness. A moment where your heroine is completely flabbergasted, taken aback, holy cowed or SOMETHING by her potential "man".

It's called tension ladies!

And even though we HATE when our heroes go against our words of wisdom, there's a piece of WOWZA that occurs when it happens at the right moment and over the right thing.

I can't tell you what that moment is, but ya sure as heck better have one!

Otherwise your hero will look like this:

﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

Hi, I'm two dimensional and hate chocolate.
oh, you like chocolate...
me too!
